Senior

The Government Digital Services team is seeking an accomplished Senior Software Engineer. We are a team in GovTech that aims to design and develop software applications that help government agencies to better serve the needs of Singaporeans. We adopt an Agile development approach and work towards adopting tech best practices and cutting edge tools.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be participating in Agile software development and technical consultancy for government agencies, particularly in the development of engaging, user-centric citizen-facing web and mobile applications. You will also be focusing on growing the competency of our technical team, for example through pair programming, code reviews, knowledge sharing and mentoring.

We are not looking for a diva 10x engineer. A wise developer once tweeted: “How to be a 10x engineer: help ten other engineers be twice as good.” That is the kind of 10x engineer we are looking for – a capability multiplier, someone who can leverage his deep experience and skills to level-up the whole development team.
